This single farmer lot comes from Mr. Mengeche Derso,who owns and operates 15 hectares of land in the highlands of Gedeo Zone, located in the Southern Region of Ethiopia. This region, and Gedeo Zone in particular, is renowned for its production of high-quality Yirgacheffe coffee. At 62 years old, Mr. Mengeche brings 62 years of farming experience to the area. His dedication to producing top-quality coffee has earned him recognition from government organizations. Mr. Mengeche has 12 children. Along with four of his children, he actively works on the coffee farm, using natural fertilizers such as animal manure and plant remnants to enrich the soil. His farm, situated at 2300 MASL, is one of the many in the area known for producing premium coffee.
The Single Farmer Project is the result of an effort to support Ethiopian producers with a marketplace for farm-traceable coffees. “Our goals with this project would be to help garner and develop long-term relationships between the producers we are already working with and coffee roasting companies that share in the values of transparency, traceability, and relationship that this program represents," says Claudia, green-coffee buyer for Cafe Imports.
